Your birthday is right before mine!

That movie took the characters and opening scenes from an excellent book and utterly destroyed the rest starting about 35 minutes in. John Steakley, Vampire$

Just a bunch of phobic shit from execs. Anything that isn't trying to do a "more marketable" version of something that's already proven successful is too much of a risk on their money. That and people have a need to project themselves into characters, and their preferences in whom they choose...

Sechs. Don't dare refer to him/her as AR-6. An android replica of another cyborg, Sechs is technically not a human. Sechs has a completely artificial brain and body, and is actually only two years old. And can kill you with a punch from two miles away if he feels like it.

I watched this movie for the first time as a "hostage swap" DVD two weeks ago and watched it three or four times. I got through it in about three sessions because I kept getting bored. Holy buckets! Littlefinger is in this movie! The fights look sleepy. Every once in a while a single move...

That's kind-of like saying Beethoven's IVth isn't art if anyone other than Beethoven plays it. There's an aesthetic to learning the forms in one's style, and a tradition that is upheld. A person is expressing themselves through the movement of their body. Look at public displays and...

That's retarded. And queer. Basically I think it's White Guilt/Apologism trying to make everyone treat each other like they're made out of fine crystal. I'd hate to see someone with such a lack of self-assurance that the mere presence of a word or phrase completely tears your world apart...

The third Assassin's Creed game or the one with a 3 on the title? I haven't played since the original game, just jumping in to say that it seems to me after all the reviews I've watched and read about this series that Ubisoft is probably getting more comfortable with phoning it in on their...

John Steakley's two books, Armor and Vampire$ are ones I'll revisit. As well as Spares by Michael Marshall Smith. I'm going through the Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan for the first time since I was fourteen and still enjoying it. Also the Dune series by Frank Herbert. Richard...

After trying to go through these games a second time I realized they're very hard for me to not call a pile of hot garbage.

My favorite meme of the past five years. Love the Harlem Shake and I hope the quality of future versions stays high.

I bet he wanted the job just for bragging rights. A half a year from now he'll be in some bar and a lady asks him, "Weren't you the Pope?" He reaches over and brushes a little hair back from her face, "Nah, I quit that gig, Angel. Now I just wanna sex ya,"

Vulnerability is key, in my book. Loud screams and jump scares only go so far. Silent Hill, Clock Tower, Amnesia, and Pandorum all leave the player almost completely helpless aside from their own quick wits. Isolation helps, but even with multiplayer you can get the players nervous by keeping...

I think most people use it as an identifier, just to make sure they stand out from the rest of the crowd. And it's way quicker than if I wrote, "My mother's side of the family is mostly German and Irish, with over a hundred years of farming history here in the United States. My paternal...

"I was so drunk last night! I don't even remember which one of you I hooked up with!"
